“The problem with fiction, it has to be plausible. That's not true with non-fiction.”
“Science fiction deals with improbable possibilities, fantasy with plausible impossibilities.”
“Truth is so hard to tell, it sometimes needs fiction to make it plausible.”
“Implausible truth can serve one better than plausible fiction”
“Fiction has been maligned for centuries as being "false," "untrue," yet good fiction provides more truth about the world, about life, and even about the reader, than can be found in non-fiction.”
“Fiction and non-fiction are only different techniques of story telling. For reasons I do not fully understand, fiction dances out of me. Non-fiction is wrenched out by the aching, broken world I wake up to every morning.”
